Important

minical does not delete or modify your events without permission.
For minical to retrieve your events correctly, they must be properly displayed in the iOS default Calendar app.
We have summarized common cases below. Please check the settings and ensure that your events appear correctly in the iOS Calendar app.

1. Is the Sync setting set to "All Events"?

There is a possibility that the sync period of the event in the setting of iOS is shortened, such as the latest one month ago. Settings Please check the calendar sync settings of the app

  1. Open the Settings app
  2. (For iOS 18 or later) Tap "Apps"
  3. Tap "Calendar"
  4. Tap "Sync"
  5. Tap "All Events"

9. Update minical

Please check if the latest version of minical is installed on the App Store (opens new window).

10. If you can't solve the problem

minical gets the same appointments as the iOS calendar. In order to isolate the cause, please check if the event is displayed in the iOS calendar app.

If there are no events in the iOS calendar app

It is not a problem of minical, but there may be a problem with the collaboration between the calendar service where the appointment is saved and iOS. By default, minical's appointments are stored in iCloud (unless it is linked with Google Calendar, etc.). Please check the support site of each company of the linked calendar service.
